1. Get involved in a relationship with another law student. Law school was my first chance to date someone truly brilliant.

2. Get your resume and job materials out early. Early means before December 31.

3. Go out and socialize. I go out 4 nights a week. You can find time for it, so do it. This can be the best time of your life if your schedule correctly.

Top 3 Things Not To Do:

1. Given #1 in top 3 things to do above, don't *&^% where you eat. Date one person at most from school, don't sleep around with other students.

2. Don't psych yourself out that law school is really hard. Most people who find school unbearably difficult don't have a good work ethic or majored in underwater basketweaving in undergrad.

3. Don't stop working out or sacrifice your health. I know alot of people who think they are too busy to go to the gym, which downgrades their quality of life, makes them more tired and grumpy, etc. Healthy Body, Healthy mind - its important.

Free advice - the summer reading list is an absolute waste of your time. I promise you will be far more benefitted by making yourself happy by getting drunk / taking a nap / hooking up than wasting your time stressing this soon.

I'll be a 2L at BC. It's a great school, I don't really know what I would prefer over it in terms of environment and people. It seems like the percentage of douchebags at BC is less than at some of the other schools I've been too. There are still hyper-pretentious people and annoying gunners, but people don't really cut them much slack for disturbing the cooperative environment.

I just finished 1L year at BC and have a place to rent for the upcoming school year. I bought it last year and still own it, but decided to move into the Prudential Center with some friends for this year because it's nice to be financially irresponsible So, I'm looking to rent it out to some responsible law school people. It's a 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath in Allston right near the T to BC. It was recently renovated and has a massive deck. The rent includes all heat, hot water and garbage and is only $1600. It's also a second floor unit on a quiet residential street, so it was fine for all my studying. I pretty much just worked from home and avoided the library since my pl,ace was quiet enough, and I did pretty well overall so avoiding the library isn't all bad I'll be at the housing fair tomorrow to talk with people about it. I've had some people interested in renting, but I'd really rather give it to a 1L group than some randoms off the street. If your interested in seeing it, shoot me a PM or if you're at the housing fair I'll see you tomorrow.

I'm a 1L at BC and I live in pretty much the sweetest condo ever (right off the green line, 10 min total to BC or BU campus). I'm moving out of the place I'm in right now to stay with some people in the Prudential Center downtown, but I can definately put anyone in touch with my landlord for the unit if they're interested. It's a recently renovated 2 bedroom in Allston, right by Harvard and Commonwealth Ave (read: all the fun).
